It just occurred to me: Shouldn't the option in the poll be 'alcoholism' and not 'beerism'?

I actually played PCB first because I thought the characters from there looked the coolest.

(Imagine my surprise when I was introduced to the glory that is ZUN art.)

I really want to have the gang go to Makai, because we'll likely run into Shinki as well as Byakuren.

It makes no sense for Marisa to be participating in a religious conflict either, though.

Wait is the game seriously based on a religious debate? How can there be room for a debate when you got litteral gods as a characters? I figured they'd... well, they would have a lot authority on this.

Oh no, my suspension of disbelief in a nonsense games series about magical monsters and their lasers, ruined~

They don't need to prove their religion is valid (given that yes, actual gods are bumming around and all), but they do want to make their own religion more popular/prestigious.

That's the reason behind the popularity mechanic being built into the game.

I guess the maid fairies are all out of a job now.


Where was she in that chapter?

She's standing off to the side in one of the party spreads. Not sure how that contradicts any part of her canon databook entry that messing with her flowers is an incredibly bad idea, though.

Edit: At this point they could end up revealing Kasen is not an Oni and it'd be one of the more shocking plot twists.

Guess they'll pop over to Makai, free Byakuren (and recruit Shinki please let us recruit Shinki) and then come back in time for everyone to notice the weird moon.

I hope they implement a Partner system similar to the recent handheld SRWs. It'll be a nice throwback to the partner system in IN too.

Nah, Remilia's got the right idea here: "The bad guys always lose? Bullshit! More like, the victors write the history books! Imma gonna win!"

And then she attempts to fight the girl who can call upon the powers of any of the Shinto pantheon. Including the sun god.

That poll reminded me of a question I want to ask - Why exactly does Septette for the Dead Princess win the music polls so consistently? It's a nice song and all but I wouldn't even rate it in ZUN's top 5 of final boss music, let alone the entire series.

Yeah, pretty much everything in Touhou is derived from some mythological thing or another. Japan has a lot of weird mythological monsters/beings to pull from, so I doubt ZUN is gonna run out anytime soon.

If not he can always start stealing Western ones. Greek god touhous... why did I just imagine that?

Yeah it's not like the first modern Touhou game featured a classical European vampire as a final boss or anything.

Gonna beat all the witty sarcastic predictions to the punch and say that I think it's a girl, guys!!!

I'm honestly eagerly awaiting the final version of DDC. ZUN could do some really cool things with the concept of possessed weapons (man I hope he brings back dynamic stage 4 bosses), and the music I've heard so far has been great.

Also I have no idea what other songs TasoFro could add to the game. Stage themes for the player characters? Legacy tracks from IaMP/HT?

Rock remix of Cosmic Mind.

Edit: And an arrange of Last Remote instead of HYG.

I don't understand why you would make bullets that have hitboxes that are different from the actual bullet. It just encourages trial-and-error gameplay.
